What is the name of House M.D.’s series finale, which aired in 2012?

The House M.D. series finale is titled “Everybody Dies.”

“Everybody Dies” aired on May 21, 2012, as the concluding episode of the eight-season medical drama. The title echoes one of the show’s recurring themes: medicine can delay death and improve lives, but it cannot eliminate mortality.

The story centers on Gregory House facing the consequences of a building fire and possible criminal charges. At the same time, his closest friend, James Wilson, is dying from terminal thymoma. House chooses Wilson over the official ending of his own career and appears to die in the fire so he can remain with Wilson.

The finale closes with House and Wilson riding motorcycles together. House’s apparent death is later revealed to be a deception, allowing the two friends to spend Wilson’s final months together. The ending prioritizes their friendship over House’s professional identity.
